Chapter 19 Mr. Bill Duffy is a good man
In Lawrence City, far away from San Antonio, Qin Yan didn't know that two old men had already sharpened their knives against him, and he was snoring and eating noodles with Miss Su in a Chinese noodle restaurant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Well, of course, only Qin Yan made this sound, and Miss Su was still very elegant.
"Hey, Qin Yan, have you really decided to draft the draft?" Su Xiaoya dragged her cheeks and looked at Qin Yan, who was eating noodles very fragrantly, and asked.
"Well, I decided." Qin Yan gulped down the last noodle soup in the bowl, "First, I have already brought the championship to the school, and there is nothing to regret." Second, it's hard to find an opponent in college now, and progress is too slow. Third, you are right today, I want to give hope to those children who need help, even if it is only a little. ”
"Well, then you can't go to school." Su Xiaoya whispered.
"Ah, that, it's okay" Qin Yan was a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head, "I'll take a temporary leave of absence." ”
Su Xiaoya looked at the stupid big man in front of her, rolled her eyes and ignored him, and suddenly, she remembered something, "But now you don't have an agent and you don't have your own publicity team, how can people pay attention to you?" ”
Qin Yan was also slightly stunned when he heard this, indeed, he forgot this condition, now is not the era of "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys". No matter how good things are, they have to be promoted, not to mention that they didn't play many games, although the only few games are very interesting, but they can't guarantee a good draft pick just by relying on those games.
Like his teammate Thomas Robinson, there is now a formed team to help him promote, and if memory is correct, Robinson was finally selected by the Kings with the fifth pick. And Anthony Davis's team is even more powerful, in the finals of the previous life, Robinson's performance was better than Davis, but in the previous life, Davis led Kentucky to defeat Kansas, but if you look at the data, Robinson is the head of Davis.
But Davis's team is amazing, building momentum for Davis very early, comparing Davis to Garnett II, and hyping Davis's potential and strength, so before the finals, Davis was called the "quasi-champion", and the scenery is infinite, even if he loses the final, Davis also got a big double-double, and he is still the most favorable contender for the champion.
Therefore, Davis can have the current hot market, his agent can be said to be indispensable, there is no agent behind the team to lead the team to continue to promote, Davis's failure this time into a tragic hero feeling, Davis does not have the current market at all.
Generally speaking, agents give the impression of being scheming, cunning, insidious and cunning, vampire-like beings, and for their own interests, they can even care about the life and death of the players, as long as they can guarantee their own interests.
When the UAE was cheated by his own agent, Fagan's business ability is okay, but his character is not very good, so that the UAE said at the press conference that he was unwilling to go to Milwaukee after being selected, which hurt the hearts of local fans and teams, hot face and cold ass, who wants to praise you? And Fagan completely uses the UAE as a cash cow, and his mind is full of money, which is really unbearable.
On the contrary, Yao Ming's agent Duffy is very powerful, the conscience of the industry, once because of his own mistakes, in the 02-03 season to let his Anthony Carter lose about $4 million, he didn't say a word and immediately let Anthony Carter sign a $1 million contract with the Spurs, and at the same time paid $3 million out of his own pocket, and forced to fill this hole, and then Anthony Carter was moved by a mess, saying "My Duffy is a friend forever." "It's enough to cash out Duffy's word-of-mouth character.
"Hey, Qin Yan, do you want me to introduce you to an agent?" Su Xiaoya saw that Qin Yan was silent for a long time and didn't speak, so she suddenly spoke.
"Ah, you know the agent?" Qin Yan was a little surprised, he had known Su Xiaoya for a few months, and he didn't ask much about other people's family affairs, he only knew that Su Xiaoya's father was also a doctor, but unlike his own father, he was a Western doctor, and I heard that he was employed in a very famous hospital in Los Angeles, and all celebrities had to ask for an appointment to see a doctor, and he was the honorary vice president of the American Medical Association (that is, the kind that was named), and I really didn't hear that anyone in her family was an agent.
"I don't know, but my father has seen so many people, he will definitely know some, don't worry, sister, I won't cheat you." Miss Su is full of confidence.
"I said you seem to be younger than me, right" Qin Yan leaned back in the chair, crossed his hands on his chest, looked at Su Xiaoya's white eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, little sister, you won, but why do you want to find me an agent?" ”
Su Xiaoya also came to the task, "You want to laugh at me, hmph, Comrade Qin Yan, don't forget, when you were useless, it was Miss Ben's encouragement and supervision that allowed you to get through the difficulties, and now that you have just achieved something, you want to be ungrateful, right?" ”
Qin Yan hurriedly waved his hand, this crime is a bit big, I can't afford it, I can't afford it, I can't afford it, "Then what do you want to do?" ”
Su Xiaoya thought about it, and in a blink of an eye she had an idea, "In this way, I will be responsible for building a website for you, giving you publicity first, and then finding you an agent, and then he will be responsible for all these things." However, I asked to be in this team, after all, I haven't graduated yet, but I also have a part of this team after graduation. ”
"You're so sure I'll succeed in the future." Qin Yan touched his nose, this is also pulling out the team, do you want to imitate Yao's team to build Qin's team for yourself?
"That's right, I can't be wrong about people. Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you have a little confidence in Miss Ben. Su Xiaoya patted her chest vigorously and said with a swear.
"Xiaoya" Qin Yan was suddenly very serious, he didn't know what was wrong, this kind of inexplicable feeling of being trusted was so good.
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoya was taken aback by Qin Yan's attitude, why was she suddenly so serious. Is he going to say something that shouldn't be said, oops, Su Xiaoya, what are you thinking, you are just very good friends.
"Thank you very much, thank you for thinking so much about me, I know that you are an out-and-out top student, if you want, you will be my press spokesperson when you graduate. I'm going to do my best, I promise you, I'm going to be a superstar! Qin Yan assured the girl in front of him very seriously.
"Ah, it's okay, we're friends, then let's go back, I'll help you get in touch." Hearing Qin Yan's assurance, Su Xiaoya suddenly breathed, there were no strange words, but then she was a little disappointed, this guy would only say this.
"Ahem, there's one more thing." Qin Yan's voice had an inexplicable smile: "Don't slap your chest hard in the future, there isn't much, and there won't be any more shooting." ”
After speaking, Qin Yan quickly slipped towards the door.
Su Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Qin Yan was talking about herself...... Oops, this bastard!
Stomping her foot hard, some blush appeared on Su Xiaoya's face, and she said coquettishly:
"Qin Yan! You stop! I'm not done with you! ”
The owner of the noodle shop looked at the two people who ran out in a hurry, and could only shake his head and sigh, "It's good to be young." ”
……
Things became simple, Su Xiaoya first set up a special website for Qin Yan, and then helped Qin Yan announce her registration for this year's draft, and carefully wrote a few articles to build momentum for Qin Yan, and also mobilized the students of the University of Kansas to irrigate. Slowly, the "Wonder Boy of Kansas" also entered the public's sight, people looked up from the pile of draft favorites, and suddenly found that this wonder boy from the East is also very good, although he has little experience in the game, he is also very young, very malleable, and anyone who has watched the finals knows that this Chinese kid's physical condition is definitely better than Davis.
Robinson and other teammates in the moving draft were also helping Qin promote, and Robinson even said, "Qin is much better than me and Anthony, and he can easily blow up either of the two of us one-on-one." "This kind of self-depreciation. But what I didn't expect was that Robinson's popularity increased after saying this. Because Robinson's team channeled this passage into Robinson being righteous enough and enthusiastic to help his teammates, as for strength, they are not in the same position, how can they compare? It's like the pinnacle big bird and the pinnacle magician, who do you choose? As for Davis, he did not reply positively after Robinson released that Qin Yan could beat the two, also emphasizing that there is no comparison between different positions.
In this way, Qin Yan is also a little well-known, and after learning that Qin Yan also participated in the 12-year draft, some people began to pay attention to him, although it is not very conspicuous now, but the spark can start a prairie fire, Su Xiaoya believes that Qin Yan will become a big hit sooner or later!
And when the outside world was busy investigating Qin Yan, Bill Duffy was dumbfounded and looked at the two young people who appeared in his office, a man and a woman, the girl was very familiar, and the boy was very popular recently.
"Qin, my God, you're not joking, Xiaoya, is he the player you want to introduce to me?"
Bill Duffy was very excited at this time, he and Su Xiaoya's father are old friends, Mr. Su has seen him several times, and he also personally operated on Duffy's mother, and he is Duffy's benefactor. Su Xiaoya, the girl Duffy, has always treated her as a niece, and when she signed Yao Ming, it was also because Yao Ming was Chinese, and Duffy had a great affection for the Chinese, and his most painful thing was that he failed to help Yao Ming solve the problems of the national team, resulting in Yao Ming's overwork and early retirement.
An old friend told him a few days ago that Su Xiaoya was going to introduce a player to him, he really didn't expect it to be Qin Yan, now think about it, it's not strange, they are all students of Kansas, they are all Chinese, no wonder they will know.
"Mr. Duffy, I'm Qin Yan." Qin Yan stretched out his hand a little embarrassed, he still had a good impression of the conscience of this industry.
"Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you."
So the next time was very good, and Duffy made a decision that was worth showing off for a lifetime, that is, to become Qin Yan's agent. Later, Duffy recalled that if the signing of Yao Ming was the beginning of his success in China, then the signing of Qin Yan was a guarantee for him to reach the top! Although when signing Qin Yan, many people felt that Duffy was taking a risk.
"How did Qin Yan convince you? Mr. Duffy? Later, a reporter asked.
Bill Duffy smiled, "He only said one word. Looking at the expectant expressions of the reporters, Bill Duffy said the words that impressed him the most from that teenager:
"Mr. Bill Duffy is a good guy!"
